Jessica Linscott, 23, and Roland Dow, 27, spent two weeks on the run after Linscott's 3-year-old son, James, was dropped off at a hospital suffering from severe injuries. The two were arrested Wednesday evening at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.

A spokesman for the Florida courts said there's no word yet on whether Linscott and Dow will waive extradition and voluntarily return. Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams said even if they do, it will likely be sometime next week before they are back in New Hampshire.

Linscott's son had serious burns and bruises over much of his body when he was left at a hospital. He has since undergone two brain surgeries, and doctors said he has a long recovery ahead.

Law enforcement officials said the intense publicity around the case led to hundreds of tips, including one that led to the arrests.

"The more they looked at following that one up, the better it looked, and then ultimately, I got a heads up yesterday afternoon that it looked like we had a real solid location down Orlando, Fla., way," Reams said.

The U.S. Marshal's Service said the two were taken into custody after they watched a parade at the park and were heading toward the rides. They were arrested without incident.

"We knew we would get them," Reams said. "We knew we weren't that far behind them."

The Florida courts spokesman said Linscott and Dow are being held in protective custody because of the nature of the charges against them. Linscott has been charged with multiple counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and Dow is facing charges of first- and second-degree assault.

Prosecutors are trying to figure out how Linscott and Dow managed to evade arrest for so long.

"We will be finding out the answers to that and trying to reconstruct exactly what they did based on all the evidence that came into us," Reams said.

Reams said anyone who knew the two were wanted but helped them anyway will likely be charged with aiding and abetting.
